TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the Canada Base Map from Natural Resources Canada with Toporama contours layered over it — the CanVec topographic data behind the printed NTS sheets, and the mapping used for hiking, hunting, canoe routes and back-country travel. Relief shows shaded relief and hypsometric tints. The search box finds any Canadian town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Farmborough.
Reading the map like a paper NTS sheet. Click Grid to overlay the UTM grid, labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass — which matters in Canada, where declination runs from about 20 degrees west in Newfoundland to 20 degrees east in the Yukon.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — the grid reference being what Canadian search and rescue work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.
Map search is available for a limited number of queries per session to manage costs. Be specific — search precisely for best results.

Farmborough is a hamlet in Rouyn-Noranda; Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Farmborough is located at 48.2122°N, 78.8444°W.
Farmborough rests in the quiet shadow of Mont Powell, where the land holds the ancient, stoic stillness of the Canadian Shield. It lies 13.1 km east-south-east of Rouyn-Noranda, QC (from Rouyn-Noranda, QC: bearing 102°T), and is situated 19.0 km south-south-west of Mont-Brun. The air here possesses a crisp, metallic clarity that tastes of stone and pine, especially as the late sun catches the rough edges of the hills. To the north, the terrain settles into a patient watchfulness, while the waters of Lac Dupuis lie four kilometers away, reflecting the sky like a sheet of dark, polished slate. Further out, the Rivière Dufault carries its own cold currents six kilometers from the center of Farmborough, marking the low ground with a persistent, fluid murmur. Even as the wind stirs the spruce, the presence of Parc national d'Aiguebelle, thirty-three kilometers distant, reminds one of the vast, protected wild that presses against the edges of human settlement. The history of Farmborough rises from the bedrock of the Abitibi-Témiscamingue region, defined by the heavy, honest labor of extraction and the clearing of deep timber. Life here follows the cycle of the seasons, where the economy remains bound to the earth and the resources pulled from the deep, dark veins of the surrounding geology. The people of Farmborough move with a deliberate purpose, their days anchored by the demands of a landscape that does not yield easily to the plow or the drill. In the evenings, the light turns a bruised violet, casting long, sharp shadows across the road as the warmth of woodstoves begins to drift from the houses. There is a singular, unadorned beauty in how the architecture of the settlement clings to the rock, asserting a human claim amidst the vast, indifferent northern expanse.
Farmborough s'étire sous un ciel vaste où la lumière décline avec une lenteur presque solennelle, venant caresser les reliefs accidentés qui entourent le Mont Powell. Dans cette contrée façonnée par l’audace des premiers défricheurs, le sol garde en mémoire les efforts acharnés d'une terre agricole conquise sur la forêt boréale. L'air, chargé d'une fraîcheur limpide, semble vibrer au rythme du Lac Dupuis qui miroite à quelques lieues, tandis que la Rivière Dufault serpente avec une discrétion minérale dans les replis du terrain. La rudesse du climat apprivoise les tempéraments, forgeant une identité tenace qui se transmet sans bruit, entre le labeur quotidien et la contemplation des horizons sauvages. Plus loin, la silhouette lointaine du Parc national d'Aiguebelle rappelle l'immensité brute qui borde ce territoire, offrant un contraste entre le calme des résidences éparpillées et la puissance indomptée de la nature environnante. Farmborough demeure ainsi un espace de silence et de ténacité, où le travail des hommes se mêle à la géologie ancienne pour dessiner une existence sobre, loin du tumulte, portée par une sérénité que seule la proximité des éléments peut offrir aux habitants de ce coin d'Abitibi.
